I cannot tell you how much I wish I had done something like this for my kids. Really. I took pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. Really cute pictures. But the things I didn't or couldn't take pictures of are some of the things I miss the most. How they looked at me. How they snuggled up on my shoulder. What we did on a daily basis. I really miss that! (cue tears!)

All of that is the reason I am so excited to get to document Cate's first year, and hopefully, life! Cory and I tried for a long time to work out a time for this session. With Curtis working so much and my kids out for summer break, it was proving almost impossible. We finally decided to just do the session with Cory and Cate as that's how most of their days are spent anyway! When I arrived it was time for lunch! Yummy!

Cute face!

I love the look on her face as Cory reads her a story!

After a bath.

Just beautiful!

Cory said that in the morning, when she gets Cate up, she loves to rock and look out the window! So sweet!

We spent a few minutes outside, but Cate was tired and ready for a nap. The thumb gave it away!

I can't believe how much she has grown and I'm excited to see her get bigger and more beautiful as time goes on! Thanks for letting me love on your daughter Cory!
